As a citizen, I honestly think the best way to keep gun violence from spreading is to keep guns out of the hands of unstable people. That means stepping up efforts to educate people about the warning signs, increased spending on mental health facilities & outreach, and state-led efforts to control the sale of guns in general.

As a developer, I dedicate my time to creating new, experimental games that challenge conventional wisdom about the marketplace and “what gamers want”. I encourage every young developer I meet to seek the freedom and funding to make games about something they care about deeply. Rarely is it war, revenge, or wanton violence.

Perhaps the administration should sponsor independent developers through foundation funding and grants. Or work to encourage public conversation through organizations like LA Game Space. Developers and programs that celebrate the art/possibility of games broaden the content that’s available *and* inspire the next generation of game makers. Supporting them seems like a huge win for everyone involved.
